Nothing - but I also work for a charit so I don't expect anything.

OH's employers throw a Christmas party but he's going to be working and we can't go. It's a big oil company so they're quite fancy.

I Work for the NHS, no bonus for Christmas. Being community based, I can have the bank holidays off though - they come out of my annual leave allowance. Those who are hospital based are not so lucky as obviously wards and labs etc. have to be staffed 24/7.

Snap! They sometimes let us go a few hours early on Christmas Eve (although this year it falls on the weekend anyway). They used to give us £5 towards our christmas do (only payable if you actually went to the do) but we dont get that anymore. Reading these posts makes me wish I worked in the private sector!

We get a christmas dinner and night out with everything laid on and last year the bonus was £300ish. Only get the bank holidays off. Hot and cold running chocolates for most of December!

Oh, and we get easter eggs too

Hi there I am also NHS, so nothing for me - however contrary to beliefs there are other perks which aren't related to Xmas (how can you tell I work in HR!)

Anyway back on topic - My Husband gets an extra months pay in December - so basically doubled salary for xmas.

We also get party from them with partners, including free bar and transport laid on.
His department also have a team meal out in December as well which is also paid for.

But then they also fly everyine business or first class for work!

I get the leave off over christmas ( break up on 21st yay!) but we dont get any gifts, apart from the odd tin of chocs for the section to share.

We do have a team meal too, but we have to pay for ourselves.

i work for a company that, amongst other things, 'grows' turkeys for some very highend retailers. What do you think we get for Christmas?

Correct. Nothing at all. It's not just the public sector workers who suffer!
